lets have a minute of silence to remember the day when a few muslim psychopaths convinced the "land of the free and home of the brave" to sell off their liberty, in exchange for a little safety

a minute of silence for the tens of thousands killed in iraq and afghanistan.

a minute of silence for the women and children killed by drone strikes in pakistan.

a minute of silence for the thousands of victims of 9/11, who would be rolling in their graves right now if they could see what their country has become, and the war crimes their government did in their name.

a minute of silence to remember that the US died because its people were too cowardly to tell their government "no, you cant take away our freedoms and create 17 trillion dollars worth of war debt, fuck off".

a minute of silence to remember the day the terrorists won.

its easy to think that the governments of the world are stupid for not thinking of asking syria to turn over its chemical weapons to russia, but the governments of the world dont give a fuck about the people of syria. the ones that want to "punish" assad, only want to do it because they know he'll react, and the US is still very much stuck in the cold war mindset.

in the late 20th century russia was the "big bad empire" hellbent on world domination.

today its the US. and its largely because of what happened on 9/11.

russia thinks the whole world sees it the same way the US does. which is why they didnt propose to take control of syria's weapons. russia thinks the whole world is as brainwashed as the US government and media treats it.

the sad thing is that the world might really be as brainwashed as the US government and media treats it.

the greatest weakness of the US war machine is that it must uphold the illusion of moral superiority. it MUST make its soldiers and supporters think that they're the good guys, and it MUST keep its enemies convinced that the whole world thinks the US are the good guys. thats the main reason the US hasnt already attacked syria. controlling syria just isnt worth throwing away the illusion of "being the world's hero", because the minute that illusion is shattered the US will face its own civil war.

9/11 was inside job anyway, america attacked itself to get into the wars

100% true

can confirm, am america

As if we need the excuse.

More like killing the pilots and crew and flying the planes into the buildings themselves. You clearly haven't thought too much about what happens during a hijack.

give me the box cutters and spoons, lets blow this plane, into some buildings!

Saying perceived inappropriate things about 9/11 in a weak attempt to exploit a reaction. How creative of you. If you are going to try and troll at least do it intelligently, trolling has evolved to the point where saying abrupt and insensitive things simply isn't enough. Doing that has become internet norm, anyway. Conformist.

In response to memorium - its difficult to convey genuine remorse through text or even speech so I will leave it at the obvious; that it was a terrible day in history that should always be remembered.

In response to the terrorists won - I'd hazard that in the near future when America finally succumbs to its debt ridden ailments and China/Russia become the prominent figures on the world stage, terrorism will be handled differently. Differently being perhaps impossible to define clearly but one thing may be sure, if China ever faced a similar attack I may hazard that their reaction be more severe and, most importantly, unconditional. So do they win? Or just advance Chinese potential influence some years ahead?
